Take it off the heat, and with a pestle and motar(or blender) mix in the essential oils and food coloring.Allow the mixture to begin to set and dry out a bit, then take a smallhandful of paste and mold it into a neat ball.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Tina, toilet soap is a soap used for daily cleansing, I use Kirk's castile soap. I have grated it and added oils before molding it and it works. Mary Keep rosemary by your garden gate. Plant roses and lavender for luck. Fall in love whenever you can.~ Practical Magic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
